Hello,
Thought I’d post pathology report, just got it, I think I understand it, more or less. Doc says won’t re-excise at this point since it’s “moderate” but will watch for regrowth. I am at higher risk since I do have dysplastic nevi but doc says once/year is fine for skin check?
FINAL PATHOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS
Left lower back: Dysplastic nevus with moderate atypia
MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION:
An upper dermal and junctional proliferation of melanocytes
demonstrates moderate confluence of nests between adjacent rete
ridges, papillary dermal fibroplasia, and moderate nuclear
hyperchromasia within random melanocytes. The biopsy tissue edges are
free of involvement.
